Effects of conventional hemodialysis combined with pHA hemoperfusion therapy on Protein-Bound uremic toxins in maintenance hemodialysis patients: a Single-Center, prospective cohort study
NCT ID NCT07016841
First seen Sep 10, 2026 · Last updated Sep 10, 2026
Summary
This single-center, prospective cohort Study evaluates whether adding the pHA130 hemoperfusion cartridge to conventional hemodialysis (HD) or hemodiafiltration (HDF) more effectively reduces protein-bound uremic toxins-specifically indoxyl sulfate (IS) and p-cresyl sulfate (PCS)-in maintenance HD patients. Adults on thrice-weekly, 4-hour HD for at least three months are randomized to one of three arms: HD/HDF alone; HD/HDF plus biweekly pHA130 hemoperfusion; or HD/HDF plus biweekly HA130 hemoperfusion. After a four-week washout, toxin levels are measured at baseline and again at Weeks 4, 12, and 24, with the primary endpoint being the reduction in IS and PCS at Week 24. Secondary endpoints include single-session toxin removal, middle-molecule clearance (β₂-microglobulin, PTH), patient-reported outcomes (itching, sleep, quality of life), and rates of hospitalization and mortality. Safety is closely monitored through adverse event reporting and consistent anticoagulation dosing. Findings will clarify the clinical value of pHA130 hemoperfusion for improving toxin clearance and guiding optimal dialysis strategies.
